We woke up around 7 and decided to pack up the car and check out. We had to check out at 11 but our plane did not leave until 445. So we had no idea what we were going to do between then. I still was not feeling good at all. In fact, this was the worst day for me. So I just wanted to do nothing haha. But we ended up going to the outlet mall that was close by. We went and did some shopping and ate lunch there and then decided we were bored so we just thought we would go to the airport. We got there around 130 haha. We were there before the plane before us came to unload. We were shocked to see that there were 4 other Make a Wish families on our flight home! We had no idea that there were so many there from Arizona. But it was pretty cool to see them and see how much fun they had. Finally our plane came and we were the first ones to board again. Jacob and I sat together and across to the other set of seats, Tom and Tyler were sitting. The lady that was sitting with us was not a nice lady. She kept making noises and moving around when Jake would move or talk. I am sure she was expecting a quiet ride....but with Jake nothing is quiet. She chose to sit next to us, so I dont feel bad for her at all. Towards the end of the flight she got up and moved to the back of the plane. So it was nice we got the row to ourselves haha. Jake went pee on the flight and then about 10 min later he said he had to pee again. And by the time he got up and walked to the bathroom, he had peed his pants =( He was pretty upset about it. And then wehn we were landing Jakes ears started to hurt so bad. His ears were clogged and no matter what we tried to do, it wouldnt unclog. And then He just started screaming and crying and couldnt stop! I felt so bad for him. I just wanted to hurry and land so that he would feel better. But it didnt feel better. So I ended up taking him to the doc the next day...showed he had an ear infection! That explains everything. So all in all, the flight was....interesting.
So when we got to the airport we went to get our luggage and no one could find where they were putting our luggage. They said that it was on #5 and so we all walked over there and it was not our luggage. So then we heard it was at a different one. So we all raced to that one...and again, not the right one. We had thought they lost our luggage until one person said I see it over here. So we all went to that one and sure enough, it was the right one. But it had the wrong destination on it. So we got our luggage and then it was time to find our ride home. Tom called the guy and was talking to him when a lady with a make a wish shirt came up to me and said that she was supposed to take us home. I guess it was prom and so our ride was busy with prom and so we had to get another company to take us home. So we went with her and waited for our ride. We had to wait like 25 min until they came but when he did, we all felt great. It was finally time to go home!!
We are so grateful for the amazing experiences we were able to have on this trip. It was beyond our wildest dreams and I am so glad we were able to share these experiences with each other and make such great memories. We had a wonderful time but we were so happy to be home! We sure do miss Florida and all the fun that it has there. And hopefully we will be able to go back and visit again soon.
I just wanted to thank everyone who has supported us through this whole Make a Wish journey. We have so many great supporters and friends and I will always be grateful for you all.
